Ruud van Empel1958Peut-on la contempler ?
Amsterdam, Pays-Bas
Le propriétaire est connu. Si elle est exposée aujourd’hui, le musée ne le dit pas, et l’on ne nous a pas appris à deviner.
Before becoming a photographer, Van Empel was a set designer for television. A similar staging strategy underlies his photography projects. He cuts various fragments from many photographs, which he then assembles digitally into a completely new image. Photography is a form of photoshopping: with the images from the visible world, the photographer creates his own, almost surreal, ‘painted’ reality.
